Aim : I am attempting to write a little "thing" that can talk from my browser to the COM port of an Arduino. Issue : My first attempt is to write an extension.

What is the difference between Chrome Apps and Extensions? What can you do with apps that you can't do with extensions or vice versa? Quoting from https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/apps_vs_extensions : We’ve already had the concept of “web apps” in the browser for a few years, as something more rich and interactive than a website, but less cumbersome and monolithic than a desktop application. Examples include games, photo editors, and video players; all of these categories are viable as tightly focused apps running inside the browser. Google Chrome is just formalizing the web app concept
